When Etienne Sabino sets out to do something, he'll do whatever it takes to reach that goal. Earlier this year, the 6-foot-3, 228-pound linebacker from Miami, Fla., decided he wanted to graduate from high school in December and get an early start to his college career.

So, this summer, instead of enjoying time on the beach with his friends, Sabino enrolled in summer school and is taking several courses to ensure he's on target for a December graduation.

"I'm taking Spanish II and English IV in order to graduate in December," Sabino said. "It's hard work, but it's all worth it."

Prior to starting summer school, Sabino made a mini-tour of college campuses. He visited Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn and Tennessee.
